The Sunlight Book of 

Knitting and Crocheting 

Experienced knitters and crocheters will appreciate 
this newest edition of the Sunlight Book of Knitting 
and Crocheting — because it presents the very latest 
novelties as well as new ideas for making many articles 
of unchanging style. 

Beginners will find every step made clear by direc- 
tions as simple and easily understood as though they 
were demonstrated by a teacher, because the instruc- 
tions were all written from actual work on the articles. 

The illustrations and directions embrace an almost 
unlimited variety of useful and appreciated articles. 

Tiny bootees, afghans, hoods and sacques for the 
baby — warm skirt or tasseled cap for the little girl — 
sweater and sturdy mittens for the boy — a skating cap 
or sweater after a new and natty model for the man — 
a comfortable shawl or slippers for the grandmother 
and innumerable fancies from opera capes to bridge 
and motor jackets for the friend. 

That the hours of work on any article may not go 
for naught with its first washing, it is imperative to 
select yarns that have proven trustworthy. 

Sunlight Yarns have for many years been recog- 
nized as meeting all the requirements of satisfactory 
work, lasting colors and long wear.

kind of Knitting and Crocheting 



SUNLIGHT Golf Yarn is a four-ply, lofty yarn of hard wearing quality, made in a 
line of heather shades and brilliant colorings, especially suitable for golf jackets, stock- 
ings, toques, children's sweater coats, caps, etc. 

SUNLIGHT German Knitting Worsted is well known for its extreme wearing quali- 
ties. The greatest of care is exercised to produce a round, even thread with just the 
right amount of twist to make it knit up well. It is made in a full line of colors, prints 
and mixtures, and is used for knitting hose, gloves, sweaters and other articles that 
must stand wear and great exposure. 

SUNLIGHT Four-fold Germantown is ideal for crocheting and knitting sport scarfs, 
afghans, slippers, toques, aviation caps, shawls, fine sweaters, mufflers, tying comforts, 
and innumerable other beautiful and serviceable articles. 

Only the finest selection of wools of just the right quality is used in this yarn, and 
it is carefully spun and twisted to produce just the proper degree of soft, even loftiness 
and elasticity. 

It is made in a wide range of shades covering every possible requirement from the 
most delicate to the heaviest staple shades and all the newest colors in popular favor. 

SUNLIGHT Eight-fold Germantown is the same in its general characteristics as the 
four-fold Germantown. except that the thread is about twice as heavy. It is especially 
good for making toques, aviation caps, heavy sweaters, afghans, slumber robes, etc. 

SUNLIGHT Saxony is a fine, soft, three-ply thread, smoothly and evenly spun, 
made in a complete line of shadings. Only the finest of wools go into this soft 
yarn, which is ideal for making children's stockings, soft gloves and mittens, fascina- 
tors, infants' crocheted skirts and hoods, bootees, trimming hoods, children's coats, 
shawls, etc. 

SUNLIGHT Spanish Worsted — four-ply — is made of a special selection of fine, hard 
wearing wools. It is spun into a finer thread than the German Knitting Worsted, is 
used for much the same purposes, but is particularly adapted for knitting gloves and 
mittens, men's socks, women's stockings, sweaters, etc. Sunlight Spanish Worsted 
is made in a complete line of colors and mixtures. 

SUNLIGHT Shetland Floss is a very lofty, fluffy yarn, soft, evenly spun. It comes in 
a beautiful line of shades and makes up well into fine fascinators, sport scarfs, women's 
sweaters, circular shawls, baby jackets, toques, women's kimonas, and many other articles. 

SUNLIGHT Eiderdown Wool is a soft fluffy, round strand, used for crocheting 
toques, aviation caps, auto caps, and for baby afghans. 

SUNLIGHT Pompadour Wool is a soft, fine thread yarn with a strand of silk running 
through it. It works up very effectively in dainty automobile hoods, scarfs, shawls, 
fascinators and baby garments. 

SUNLIGHT Shetland Wool is a two-ply yarn, finer spun than Saxony and very soft. 
It comes in a line of delicate colors and is used for infants' sacques and bootees, 
women's scarfs, shawls, etc. 

SUNLIGHT Alliance Worsted is a very fine knitting yarn, made soft, lofty and yield- 
ing. Its uses are about the same as the Spanish and the German Knitting Worsted, but 
the effect is much softer. Made in black and white only. 

SUNLIGHT Fairy Floss is a soft yarn of the nature of a Shetland Floss, crimped to 
give it a wavy effect. It is used for shoulder wraps, shawls, fascinators, kimonas, etc. 

SUNLIGHT Coral Yarn is a fine, soft, round yarn with a very noticeable spiral twist. 
It is used for infants' mitts, bootees and jackets. 

SUNLIGHT Lusterine is a very soft yarn with a lustrous strand running spirally 
about it. It is largely used for making up dainty infants' garments, scarfs, shawls, etc. 

SUNLIGHT Ice Wool is a genuine Mohair high luster, wiry, two-ply thread. It is 
used for circular shawls and all fancy wraps and headgear. 

SUNLIGHT Angora works up very beautifully into infants' soft hoods, Tarn O'Shan- 
ters, infants' muffs and women's mitts, caps and toques. It gives a soft, fluffy surface.

are repeated. Now * work 2 double cro- 
chet, 1 in each stitch on the chain, and 2 
double crochet both in the next stitch on 
the chain and repeat from * until you have

INSTRUCTIONS 



This handsome robe, in its subdued color, 
is very restful to the eye and would cer- 
tainly give great satisfaction to the maker, 
especially, as the work is not very difficult. 

The afghan is worked in 3 shades of "old 
rose," but brown or green would look well 
also, in case those colors should be pre- 
ferred. 

It is made up of 9 panels, 5 fancy ones 
in the light and medium shades and 4 plain 
ones in the dark shade. A heavy fringe is 
put on the ends of the robe, so each panel 
gets its own shade. 

Work the dark panel in the cluster stitch. 

Start with a chain of 32 stitches. 

1st row: Draw the loop on needle half 
an inch long, * take up 1 loop in 2nd stitch 
on the chain, yarn over hook, take up an- 
other loop in same place and repeat from 
* to end of row. 

Put yarn over hook and pull through 1 
cluster at a time; at the end pull through 
1st loop and make 1 chain. 

2nd row: Same as 1st row, make 1 clus- 
ter between 1st loop and 1st cluster on row 
below, then repeat, making 1 cluster be- 
tween each cluster on row below. At end 
o f row take up 1 loop on the back of last 
cluster below; yarn over and pull through 



the loop, then repeat as before and at end 
of row pull through loop with the cluster 
and make 1 chain. 

3rd row: Same as 1st row. making 1 
cluster between each cluster on preceding 
row. Repeat 2nd and 3rd rows. Make 
panel 2j4 yards in length. 

The fancy panel is made up of 3 stripes, 
2 in the medium and 1 in the light shade. 

Begin stripe with a chain of 7 stitches, 
pick up 6 loops, then you have 7 loops in 
all on needle. Put yarn over and pull 
through 1 loop at a time. 

Next row same as 1st row, taking up in 
the loops on row below. 

Make 1 more row. 

4th row: Pick up 3 loops; then take up 
1 loop in the 2nd loop from edge on 2nd 
row below. Put yarn over hook and pull 
through 2 loops. Put yarn over hook twice 
and take up 1 loop in 3rd loop from edge 
on 3rd row below, yarn over and pull 
through 2 loops, then yarn over and pull 
through 2 more loops. Repeat this last 
stitch 2 times more in the 4th and 5th loop 
on 3rd row below. 

Put yarn over hook once and take up i 
loop in 2nd loop from the other edge on 
2nd row below, and pull through 2 loops.

Now yarn over hook and pull through S 
loops, 1 for each stitch and make 1 chain 
tight. Pick up the 3 last loops on 4th row, 
1 in all, on needle, and pull through 1 at a 
time, same as before. 

This is the design for the whole panel. 

Make 2 plain rows, then repeat 4th row, 
so for every 3rd row you make a new clus- 
ter. 

Make stripe 2 ! 4 yards long. 

Work the 2 other stripes. 

Put those 3 stripes together with the 
chain stitch in the dark shade and place 
the light panel in middle. 

Put this fancy panel together with the 
plain panel, same way in the light shade. 



To connect: Place both panels together 
with the right side out, make a loop on the 
hook and * put hook through 1 loop on the 
edge of each panel. Yarn over and pull 
through all on needle at once and repeat 
from * to end of row. 

Crochet scallops on the fancy panel on 
both sides of afghan. Make shells of 7 
double crochet with 1 single crochet be- 
tween. 

Make a fringe 5 inches long and let the 
ends of each panel be fringed in its own 
shade. Cut the threads for fringe 24 inches 
in length. Take 1 end and double up 2 
times, put the loops through edge with the 
crochet hook, then draw ends through loops 
and tighten.

This Slumber Robe is made up of panels, 
worked in various shades of different colors. 
Five panels are green and blue, shaded, and 
4 panels are medium green, with the pattern 
in brown. A scallop finishes off the edge. 
Use No. 6 hook for the green and blue panel. 
This panel is worked lengthwise. Start with 
the lightest shade in green and make a chain 
2y 2 yards in length. 

1st row: Make 1 single crochet in 2nd 
stitch from hook. * Take up 1 loop in next 
stitch on the chain and from this loop make 
a chain of 3 stitches; put yarn over hook 
and pull through both loops on needle, make 
1 single crochet in next stitch on the chain 
and repeat from * to end of row. 

This row is the center row of panel. 

2nd row: Start with 2 single crochet on 
this row (that will alternate the knots) and 
work same as on 1st row, taking up in the 
double stitch. 

Make 2 rows in the lightest shade, 2 rows 
in the next shade, 2 rows in the 3rd shade 
and 2 rows in the darkest shade. 

Next row: Make 1 knot in the darkest 
green and knot in the lightest blue, chang- 
ing the yarn when pulling through in the 
single crochet. 

Make 1 row in the lightest blue and 1 row 
in the darkest blue. 

This will finish one side of the panel. 
Now start in center with the lightest shade 
and make 1 row, taking up on the other side 
of the chain. Reverse the shades. 

Make S panels. 



For the panel with pattern use No. 5 hook. 
This panel is worked cross wise in the single 
crochet, with the next lightest shade in 
green and the brown. Start with the green 
and make a chain of 27 stitches. 

1st row: Make 9 single crochet; take up 
the loop for the 10th stitch and pull through 
with the brown; then take up the loop for 
the next stitch and pull through with the 
green. This makes 1 brown stitch. Now 
make 2 single crochet work in the brown 
yarn, take up the loop for the 3rd stitch and 
pull through with the brown. This makes 3 
green stitches. Repeat, making 3 brown and 
9 green single crochet (26). This will finish 
1st row; make 1 chain, turn.

This little skirt is made in the single 
crochet. The ruffle at the bottom holds it 
firm and makes a pretty finish. 

Begin at bottom of skirt and make a 
chain of 134 yards. 

Work 14 single crochet, 1 in each stitch 
on the chain; then make 3 single crochet 
in 15th stitch on the chain. That increases 

2 stitches. This will make 1 scallop; re- 
peat same until you have 13 scallops for 
width of skirt. 

End 1st row with the 3 single crochet in 
1 stitch, then join by making 1 single cro- 
chet on 1st single crochet on 1st row, tak- 
ing up in the back of the stitches; work 5 
more single crochet. 

Make 1 single crochet in 7th, 8th and 
9th single crochet on row below. (Take 
up 1 loop for each single crochet and pull 
through those 3 loops as 1.) That will de- 
crease 2 stitches, then make 6 single cro- 
chet, 1 in each stitch on row below. Make 

3 single crochet in next stitch, the middle 
one of the 3 single crochet made in 1 stitch 
on 1st row, and that will increase 2 stitches. 

Now work 6 single crochet and decrease 
2, then 6 single crochet and increase 2 and 
repeat same for every row until you have 
25 rows, then narrow a little toward the 
waist. 

Next row: No increasing, follow the pat- 



tern and decrease only, then you get 1 
stitch less on each side of scallop. 

Work 5 rows same as before. 

Make 1 row without increasing, then 4 
rows same as before. Work 1 row without 
increasing and 4 rows again, then 1 row 
without increasing and 2 rows. Make last 
row in double crochet for the band. 

Crochet ruffle at bottom of skirt. 

Work 1 row in the double crochet with 
1 chain between each double crochet, tak- 
ing up in every stitch on row below, with 
exception of making 2 double crochet at 
the point of the scallops and skipping 1 
stitch between the scallops. 

Next row: Make a shell of 6 double 
crochet between 2 double crochet on row 
below. Repeat same to end of row, always 
leaving 2 double crochet on row below be- 
tween each shell. 

Finish off ruffle with a picot edge: * 
Make 1 single crochet on the shell; then 
make a chain of 3 stitches and 1 single 
crochet in 1st stitch on the chain. Repeat 
from * making 4 picots for each shell. 

Make a vest of sateen, 13 inches in length 
from shoulder and 25 inches in width when 
buttoned and sew skirt on same. 

If different size is wanted make more or 
less scallops for width and more or less 
rows before narrowing.

INSTRUCTIONS 



This sweater is knitted lengthwise in the 
plain stitch with black and green yarn. The 
buttons are knitted also. 

Begin at left side front, use black yarn 
and No. 13 needles. Cast on 190 stitches. 
Divide the stitches on 2 needles and start 
knitting with the 3rd one, or you could use 
only 2 needles, carrying all the stitches on 
1 needle, if you put a little sealing wax on 
one end of each needle to prevent the 
stitches from sliding off. (Knit 1st stitch 
on first row and every time, when stitches 
are added, slip 1st stitch on every row ex- 
cept when changing the yarn, then knit 1st 
stitch.) 

Knit 2 rows plain (2 rows make 1 rib"). 
Let the stitches run easy on needle. Knit 
3rd row plain, add (cast on) 1 stitch and 
knit 4th row plain. Make another rib and 
add 1 stitch on same side as before. Three 
ribs (6 rows) make 1 black stripe. 

Start with the green yarn (at bottom of 
sweater) and make 1 row plain, add 2 
stitches (at neck of sweater) and purl the 
stitches on next row. Two rows make 1 
green stripe. 

For every turning at the bottom of 
sweater twist the threads around once to 
keep the edge firm. 

Repeat, making 1 black stripe, adding at 
neck 1 stitch for each rib and 1 green stripe, 
adding at neck 2 stitches, until you have 7 
black and 7 green stripes. Add 16 stitches 
to shoulder. (240 stitches is the length of 
sweater.) Make 7 black and 7 green stripes. 



Knit the pocket on the front part. Start 
with green yarn at bottom of sweater and 
pick up 45 stitches in the last row of the 
5th black stripe from front edge (take up 1 
stitch in each stitch of the row). Make 10 
green and 9 black stripes for the pocket. 
Start with the black yarn, as before, and 
knit pocket in with the front part (take 1 
stitch from each needle and knit as 1). 

Make 2 black stripes and 1 green (9 black 
and 8 green stripes the width of shoulder). 
Bind off 63 stitches for armhole. Make 9 
green and 8 black stripes. Add 63 stitches 
for back. Make 29 black and 28 green 
stripes for the width of back. Knit the 
other side to correspond. 

Sleeve: Cast on 50 stitches with black 
yarn. Knit 1 rib and add 5 stitches. Knit 
3rd row plain. Start with the green (at top 
of sleeve) and add 5 stitches at end of row. 
Repeat making the stripes, adding 5 stitches 
for every turning toward the bottom of 
sleeve, until the number of stitches is in- 
creased by 95 (19 turnings). Add 20 more 
stitches (165 stitches is the length of sleeve). 
Make 25^2 black stripes from start. Make 
the green stripe, then 2 ribs of the next 
black stripe and start the binding off in 
same order as you added. 

Border: Make border to go around neck 
down the front edges. Use black yarn, 
work with 2 threads of the yarn and No. 10 
needles. Cast on 12 stitches. Knit plain 
forward and back, making the strip about 
1-M yards long.

Cuff: Use black yarn (single) and No. 13 
needles. Cast on 40 stitches and knit for 
the length of 7 inches. 

Buttons: Use black yarn and No. IS 
needles. Cast on 30 stitches. Divide the 
stitches on 3 needles, join to a circle and 
knit plain 10 rows. 

Start decreasing: 

1st row: Knit 4, decrease 1 (knit 2 
stitches together as 1). 

2nd row: Plain. 

3rd row: Knit 3, decrease 1. 

4th row: Plain. 

5th row: Knit 2, decrease 1. 

6th row: Plain. 

7th row: Knit 1, decrease 1. 

8th row: Decrease 1 for every 2 stitches. 

Break off the yarn a few inches from 
work and with a darning needle run the 
end of the yarn through the remaining 5 



stitches, draw together and fasten. Use 
the wrong side of work out, put the mould 
in, run a thread through the edge, draw 
together and fasten. 

Sew garment together. 

Put the sleeves in, so that seam of sleeve 
comes in middle of side a little toward the 
front. 

Sew cuff on and turn up about 3 inches. 

Sew border on, holding in the garment a 
little around neck. 

Sew together at bottom of pocket.

Wool Soap into very hot water, not boiling; add a few- 
drops of ammonia and a pinch of borax. 

Allow the garment to stand in the suds for a few min- 
utes, then move it gently back and forth through the suds 
until clean. Do not rub soap on the article and do not 
rub it with the hands. 

Rinsing and Drying: Wring the garment lightly with 
the hands, and rinse in clear warm water, moving it back 
and forth as in the suds. Repeat the rinsing in a second 
clear warm water; then wring the garment lightly with 
the hands, shake slightly and dry quickly in the open air, 
being careful not to stretch it.
